🏁 Alexander and RideHVMC Sweep Road Atlanta With Two Wins!

2020-08-07 08:11
Corey Alexander and RideHVMC racing rebounded from a tough round at Road America with two wins during the third round of the MotoAmerica Stock 1000cc championship at Road Atlanta this past weekend. This would mark his first win since 2014 and second & third podium visits of the 2020 season!

Corey started off the weekend showing speed right away despite having not ridden at Road Atlanta since 2015 on a smaller 600cc machine. The #23 Iconic Motorbike Auctions backed Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R qualified onto the front row with a third place grid position for each of the two Stock 1000cc races of the weekend behind Cam Peterson and veteran Geoff May.

Race 1 saw Corey off to a great start taking the hole shot and continuing to lead for the first few laps. After fending off pole sitter Cam Peterson for first position midway through the race, Corey eventually rode his way to his first MotoAmerica Stock 1000cc win with a margin of nearly 4 seconds. The RideHVMC racing team and crew chief Chris Lessing made the decision to sit out Saturday's Honos Superbike race one to better prepare for the second Stock 1000cc race of the weekend.

Sunday's Stock 1000cc race two didn't start off quite as good for Corey and he had to patiently work his way up to the lead from 4th position after a bad launch off the line. After battling through his fellow competitors to the front of the field, Corey put his head down notching his personal best time of the weekend, a 1:27.46. This allowed for a comfortable gap on Corey's way to his second win of the weekend though by a smaller margin just over 1 second.

The back to back victories secured Corey an 11 point lead in the 2020 Stock 1000cc points race going into the fourth round of the season.

After a successful weekend in the Stock 1000cc class, the team decided it would be worthwhile to test some new settings during Honos Superbike Race 2. Braving the heat, Corey was able to secure another top ten finish with a tenth place finish despite being very physically worn. The team is now 4th in the Superbike Cup points race despite missing two of the races.

Corey exclaimed, “I could not be more happy with how our weekend went. We were able to come up with a new foot peg setup thanks to Evol Technologies that resolved our shifting issues which we struggled with during the first two rounds. I was hoping for a good weekend but two wins and the championship points lead is beyond my expectations. I'm excited to keep this momentum going into next weekends doubleheader at Pittsburgh. I'm really happy with how our bike is working and thankful for my guys hard work to get my comfy on my ZX-10R”.

RideHVMC Racing heads to Pittsburgh this coming weekend for round four of the MotoAmerica Honos Superbike and Stock 1000 championships.
